Evan Rusackas cfdc7dce8e docs(country-map): SIP — phases 2/3/5 substantially done
Mark Phase 2 (plugin scaffolding) substantially complete: hosting
path wired, click-to-zoom ported. Phase 3 (controls) fully done with
manifest-driven choices replacing hardcoded tables. Phase 5
substantially done: 41 tests across 4 test files, CI workflow,
UPDATING.md entry.

Remaining items, all non-blocking for SIP filing:
- "Switch to new Country Map" button on legacy plugin renderer
- Cross-filter integration via setDataMask
- Composite projection support (geoAlbersUsa for USA)
- Real example images (need actual rendering capture)
- Update Superset docs site

@superset-ui/plugin-chart-country-map

Modern country/region choropleth chart for Apache Superset. Replaces legacy-plugin-chart-country-map.

Status

🚧 Work in progress — see SIP_DRAFT.md in this directory for the full design rationale and implementation phases. This plugin lives in the same PR as the build pipeline that produces its data; both are currently scaffolded and being progressively fleshed out.

What it offers vs. the legacy plugin

Legacy New
Backend endpoint explore_json chart/data (modern)
Disputed-region handling Hardcoded NE editorial Configurable per-deployment + per-chart worldview (NE _ukr default)
Subdivisions level Country-only Country (Admin 0) and Subdivisions (Admin 1) and Aggregated regions
Data pipeline Jupyter notebook Reproducible script + YAML configs (see scripts/)
Per-deployment customization Fork required superset_config.COUNTRY_MAP block + chart-level controls
Composite maps (e.g. France-with-Overseas) Hardcoded in notebook Declarative in composite_maps.yaml
Regional aggregations (NUTS-1 etc.) Hardcoded Declarative in regional_aggregations.yaml

Layout

src/
  index.ts          — package entry; exports CountryMapChartPlugin and types
  types.ts          — TypeScript types for form data + transform props
  CountryMap.tsx    — React component; renders the SVG chart
  plugin/
    index.ts        — ChartPlugin class with metadata
    buildQuery.ts   — modern chart/data query builder
    controlPanel.tsx— form controls (worldview, admin level, country, ...)
    transformProps.ts — form_data → renderer props
scripts/            — build pipeline (NE shapefile → simplified GeoJSON outputs)
SIP_DRAFT.md        — design draft for the eventual SIP issue
